Welcome back to Keigh-3
It’s that time of year again, and I couldn’t be more exhausted excited for it! In just about an hour from now, Geoff Keighley will take to the stage of Hollywood Park’s YouTube theater for the Summer Game Fest 2023 kick-off show — An evening of exciting game trailers and picking up after yourselves.
We can expect updates, previews, and reveals from some of the biggest names in the industry, as they prod and poke our hype engines with the games that they’ll be expecting $70+ for the rest of 2023 and beyond. Games set to put in an appearance include Alan Wake 2 and Baldur’s Gate 2, as well as the first-ever gameplay trailer for NetherRealm Studios’ Mortal Kombat 1. There are whispers of a release date for Marvel’s Spider-Man 2, and we’re still to see anything from Activision regarding the 2023 iteration of Call of Duty. And all this is just scratching the surface.
A pre-show will kick off about 30 minutes from now, with the presentation going live at 12:00 PT / 15:00 ET / 20:00 BST / 21:00 CEST. As always, the show will be way too long two hours in length, but we will all be on deck to bring you all of the latest news and updates, hurriedly typed and confusingly written in an all-out bid to please the Google Gods. We’d love it if you could join us for the show by following the stream above, and having your say in the comments below.
And, all jesting aside, I hope that you see at least one awesome game that gets the hype fires stoked.
